About Red Oak Times

Red Oak Times is a local news site created for Red Oak residents who want to stay informed about what is happening close to home and beyond.

Your community. Your news.

Red Oak Times covers local stories, city updates, community concerns, school news, weather alerts, development issues, business changes, events, and everyday topics that matter to Red Oak residents.

Our goal is to give readers a clear place to find news about Red Oak, Ellis County, Texas, the United States, and the world — with a local lens. Not every story happens in Red Oak, but many stories can affect Red Oak families, homeowners, workers, parents, retirees, and business owners.

Why we exist

Local residents deserve news that feels close to home. Red Oak Times was created to help people understand what is happening in their city, their county, their state, and the wider world in a way that feels relevant to daily life in Red Oak.

What we cover

Red Oak Times publishes a mix of local reporting, community updates, public safety stories, city government coverage, regional news, Texas stories, national headlines, and world news that may be relevant to local readers.

  • Red Oak: city issues, development, roads, schools, local businesses, events, and community concerns.
  • Ellis County: county government, public safety, courts, weather, growth, and nearby community updates.
  • Texas: statewide decisions, laws, taxes, weather, education, energy, and issues that affect local households.

  • World: global stories that may influence fuel prices, food costs, travel, markets, safety, and supply chains.

Our local lens

Red Oak Times is not only interested in where a story happens. We are interested in why it matters to readers here.

A national grocery price story matters if it changes what Red Oak families pay at the store. A world energy story matters if it could affect gas prices in Texas. A county court notice matters if it changes someone’s plans for the week. A city development meeting matters if it affects roads, schools, farmland, utilities, taxes, and quality of life.
